Hi, salter,
unfortunately you didn't say which browser you are using.
Therefore here in Chrome.
With CTRL-Shift-I you start the Development tool.
Then you start exploring.
You see here, that the "question and answer" area has a class ".question-container"
and at the right you see the actual values.
Just overwrite these values in your "custom.css" of your extended theme.
Next:
Here you see that the class ".form-control" is affected.
And also you see the actual values:
which you overwrite by e.g. "border: 1px solid red;" or whatever.
Of course, without a little bit of knowledge in css (and HTML) it seems to be difficult, but a challenge to learn.
Best regards
Joffm
